Chapter XVII

The princes are the blood of the royal family, and they are naturally high and powerful, and they are also wearing gorgeous clothes today.

The last cart of tribute is also huge, it is a tribute from Xichuan, and the emperor doesn't know what is inside, so he is quite curious.

Just as the emperor's mind was focused. There was a sudden loud bang at the ceremony, comparable to the sharp and shocking noise of the fireworks explosion, followed by two dead soldiers who broke out of the tribute!

Concubine De, who was not far away, was dizzy in front of her eyes, and quickly rushed forward to push the emperor away: "Your Majesty! ”

Sikong Jun quickly protected the emperor like thunder and lightning, and Jiang Cheng also rushed forward to help. Suddenly, the desperate sword waved with a dazzling light, which made everyone present terrified, and the Shence army of the Great Yin Palace instantly surrounded the white marble steps, and the Chaohe ceremony caused a thousand waves because of this stone.

Sikong Jun's heart was almost out of rhythm and his shoulder was wounded, and the two assassins did not expect Sikong Jun's reaction to be so fast. I saw that the forbidden army tightly surrounded the assassins, and together with the emperor, Sikong Jun and Jiang Cheng, they were all protected.

Seeing this, the two assassins clenched their teeth, a burst of blood gushed out of their mouths, and they fell to the ground in an instant, without a sound. The murderous aura around him has not subsided, and people are panicked and shudder for a while.

King Qian suddenly stepped forward, drew his sword and pointed it at Sikong Jun, and shouted: "Bold Sikong Jun, you dare to send a dead man to assassinate your father and emperor secretly!" ”

The words were shocking. Sikong Jun's mind was blank, and he only felt that everyone's eyes were stabbing at him.

Jiang Cheng was annoyed by Sikong Jun for a while, and asked: "Lord Tongjun has always been loyal, and Fang Cai is the first person to fight with the dead in close combat, how can it be said that he is plotting rebellion?!" ”

The rest of the princes also looked at King Qian in fear, King Qian sneered, put away his sword: "Heh, if it weren't for the ghosts, how could these two dead men avoid three rounds of inspection?" ”

Sikong Jun calmed down and said: "His Royal Highness King Qian thinks that he has misunderstood, and he only rushed back from the southern suburbs early this morning, how to arrange the internal response in advance?" According to the meaning of King Qian, could it be that Su Jieyu, who presided over the ceremony this time, was in the next internal response? ”

The pious king was speechless for a moment.

Concubine De fell to the ground for saving the emperor, and the emperor helped her up. Before she could stand firmly, Concubine De walked towards King Qian, stared at King Qian, and asked, "Why did something happen, His Royal Highness King Qian was not worried about His Majesty's safety, but that the Lord of the United Army wanted to rebel?" Why was it not you who was the first to come forward to rescue Your Majesty, but the Lord of the Palace and the United Army? In the event of such an accident, all reasons are possible, why did His Royal Highness King Qian insist that it was the Lord of the United Army who was doing the internal response? So decisive, what is the intention of His Royal Highness King Qian! ”

King Qian's eyes widened, and the look of looking at Concubine De gradually lost his previous aura, and the emperor slowly approached and said, "That's it, I don't pursue you if you don't save the driver in the first place, how can you speculate so much about the people of the Divine Army?" ”

For a moment, the situation was extremely tense.

Jiang Cheng took a step forward and said, "If it is really a dead soldier arranged by the Lord of the United Army, how can the Lord of the United Army be so desperate?" Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qian thinks that it is like a play just now? ”

Seeing this, the pious king had no choice but to salute and say, "Father and emperor atone for their sins, son...... The sons are really frightened, worried that there is an internal response in the Great Yin Palace, and they are worried about the safety of their father......"

"That's it, put your heart away and investigate this matter well!" There was reproach in the emperor's tone, but his face was still not angry, and the pious king had no choice but to take care of it, and retreated without further words.

After speaking, the emperor turned to Concubine De again and said with concern: "Concubine Ai must have suffered a flesh injury." ”

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty is safe and sound." ”

Su Jieyu stood up and presided over the order, and ordered the ministers to keep their original appearance, and the emperor immediately mobilized the forbidden army of the Shence Army to search all around, and immediately reported the suspicious situation if it was found.

Unexpectedly, Concubine De walked towards Su Jieyu in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, she was slapped hard, and this palm used up almost all her strength.

"Su Fengying, this is the good thing you did to preside over the ceremony!" Concubine De was furious.

Su Jieyu was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor and said: "The concubine deserves death, the concubine is derelict in her duties, ask Your Majesty to surrender, and the concubine is derelict in her duties......"

Seeing this, then Wang Li Yi also quickly stepped forward and knelt down, defending his mother's concubine: "Ask Your Majesty to learn from Yinjian, the mother concubine is the first time she presided over the court's ceremony, it can be said that she did not do her best, and I beg my father to look at the child's face and let it fall lightly." ”

The emperor sighed, very helpless: "You, hey...... What kind of crime deserves death, it's just that, I already have two sons who have lost their own mothers, can I kill another one? Su Jieyu has always been a calm person, and there is indeed a dereliction of duty in presiding over the ceremony this time. It's just that the New Year is almost the end of the year in one month, so I will punish you to go to the Meritorious Temple next month to pray for the palace for three days! ”

Su Jieyu's mother and son bowed down together: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"The queen handed over the matter to you this time, but she didn't know how to teach you the method, and she was also derelict in her duties, so I will go back and blame the queen. Today's tribute is also finished, let's disperse, come back to the banquet at noon! ”

After speaking, the emperor walked away with his sleeves in anger, and suddenly stopped halfway through, turned around and came back to help Concubine De, looked around, and said, "Where is the imperial doctor?" Come to the two imperial doctors, follow me to the Hanxiang Palace, and diagnose Concubine De's injuries! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After this incident, the ceremony was interrupted, and the emperor lost interest, so the ministers and palace people dispersed, and the rest of the emperor's relatives stayed behind to wait for the palace banquet at noon.

As soon as noon arrived, Taiji Palace was a prosperous scene, today the sun is fine, the accident on the morning ceremony was handed over to the king of piety to go to the joint Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly, so today's palace banquet, the king of piety was not able to be present, the queen was inevitably unhappy, but because of the alarm in the morning, everyone did not dare to say much, a magnificent but silent embarrassing situation.

The emperor drank a glass of wine with everyone, put down the wine cup, and said loudly: "Concubine De stepped forward to escort her today regardless of her own body, I am very moved, come here, bring all the rewards." ”

Concubine De looked at the attendants who rushed in, and hurriedly got up to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

The emperor was very happy and said, "I will hand over the rest of the rewards to the Shang Palace Bureau for good preparation." ”

The queen was about to get up and answer, but the emperor said again: "That's it, the queen, you are also tired, the Shanggong Bureau has been working on Concubine De last year, and this time, I will hand over the congratulatory gift to Concubine De, the authority." ”

After speaking, the emperor looked at Concubine De with satisfaction and smiled, Concubine De bowed her head and bowed again, and everyone stood up together to congratulate the emperor on her endless blessings, and congratulated Concubine De on the beauty of her appreciation, and no one noticed a touch of gloom on the queen's face.

Soon, seven days passed.

The assassination case on the Chaohe ceremony was not solved, and the people of Dali Temple were more and more confused when they checked and checked, and there was no clue at all, the emperor originally suspected that there was a problem with Xichuan's tribute, but it was wrong when he thought about it, if he could really avoid three rounds of inspection, there must be someone in the palace who wanted to rebel.
